http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideServerCommunication.html#DevGuideHttpRequests states, "First, because of the single-threaded execution model of most web browsers, long synchronous operations such as server calls can cause a JavaScript application's interface (and sometimes the browser itself) to become unresponsive. To prevent network or server communication problems from making the browser "hang", GWT allows only asynchronous server calls. When sending an HTTP request, the client code must register a callback method that will handle the response (or the error, if the call fails)."
Based on the statement above, my understanding is that the http request is also an async.
